Shane looked at Jackson disdainfully. “That's enough. I've got something for you to do.”

He gestured towards Natalie.

Natalie nodded. She opened her bag and fished out several waterproof plastic bags.

Shane took them, then tossed them onto Jackson's table.

Jackson glanced at the bags and sat down. “What's this?” he inquired.

“Hair,” Shane replied shortly. Pulling Natalie along with him, Shane crossed over to another sofa and sat down as well.

Jackson rolled his eyes. “Of course, I know it's hair,” he said testily. “What I want to know is—whose is it?”

“It's Jasmine’s and the bunch,” Natalie quickly replied. With a few brief sentences, she outlined what had happened the night before at the news station.

Jackson listened carefully. Fiddling with his glasses, he said in a tone of mild surprise, “The Smith family is rather sensational, isn't it? All right. I'll process this for you. The results should be out in half an hour.”

“Thank you, Dr. Baker,” Natalie said politely. She stood up and extended her hand towards him in gratitude.

Shane grabbed her outstretched hand and yanked her back onto the sofa. He gave Jackson a vehement glare, then informed Natalie icily, “You've already thanked him.”
